Jose Dariel Abreu didn't have to wait long to strike it rich in the United States.

The power-hitting Cuban defector is close to an agreement on a six-year contract worth about $68 million, Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal reported Thursday night. The Chicago White Sox are believed to be the team that will sign him.

A deal with Chicago makes sense; the Pale Hose need lots of help after losing 99 games and finishing last in the AL Central this season, and they already employ Cuban players Alexei Ramirez and Dayan Viciedo.

The Texas Rangers, Boston Red Sox and Houston Astros reportedly were in the running for Abreu, as well.

The 26-year-old Abreu defected from Cuba in August. He later established residency in the Dominican Republic.
